There’s more in this little drop than muscles.
A good adhesive is not measured by bond strength alone. In fact, many dentists consider low film thickness and viscosity as equally important. Prime&Bond elect Universal Dental Adhesive’s clinically proven PENTA (dipentaerythritol penta acrylate monophosphate) technology chases away water, enabling a strong bond with less sensitivity. It also features excellent bond strength and cures clear. It’s time to think beyond the bond.
Benefits
Why choose Prime&Bond elect?
All indications, all etching methods
Clinically proven PENTA technology
Excellent performance with Calibra Ceram Resin Cement
Cures Clear
Low Film Thickness
Low Film Thickness
In direct restorations, thick adhesives can pool in the corners of the proximal box. These adhesive pools can show up as translucent areas on a radiograph, which can easily be mis-diagnosed as a void, gap, or secondary decay, leading to unnecessary replacement. Thicker adhesives may also change the crown prep geometry, impacting crown fit.
Prime&Bond elect adhesive provides a lower film thickness of resin-dentin and resin-enamel interfaces.1,2
Clinically Proven PENTA Chemistry
Prime&Bond elect adhesive is built on the chemistry of one of the world’s most widely used and clinically tested adhesives. PENTA chemistry provides a unique micromechanical and chemical bond for long-term success. Not only does the chemistry use acetone to chase water from the prep, but unlike the MDP adhesive monomer which contains just one vinyl group, PENTA contains five vinyl groups (for locking into resin). Because of this structural advantage, adhesives with PENTA are better able to resist degradation of the bond.
All indications. All etching methods.
Although the strongest bond in the mouth is to etched enamel, over-etching dentin is a leading cause of post-op sensitivity. Prime&Bond elect Universal Dental Adhesive gives you the flexibility to use the etching technique that is most appropriate for the situation.
Cures Clear
The clear color of Prime&Bond elect adhesive helps to ensure that the esthetic outcome of your restoration is not compromised2.
Excellent Bond Strength
Prime&Bond elect adhesive maintains impressive mechanical stability of the resin by limiting the amount of water absorbed by the adhesive. Too much water can degrade the bond over time, causing it to fail prematurely. Consistent bond strength across varied moisture levels is paramount for a durable bond.
Prime&Bond elect is part of the complete Class II Solution
The filling concept designed for efficient and reliable results.
From matrix system to bulk fill flowable to universal composite, Dentsply Sirona Restorative provides the only complete solution with unmatched adaptation at each critical step of a Class II restoration.
